In most modern slots the big wins live in the free spins, but free spins might trigger once in a few hundred spins. Bonus buy offers a shortcut: pay a fixed price and the bonus round starts immediately. It sounds like a bargain. It is really a way to spend money faster.
How bonus buy works
- Open the game menu and pick the buy option (when your casino and region allow it).
- The game shows a price as a multiple of your current bet.
- You confirm and the bonus round starts at once.
Examples from 1win games
| Game | What is offered |
|---|---|
| Le Zeus | Four Buy Bonus options and a Bonus Bet where the casino allows them |
| Le Vampire | BonusHunt FeatureSpins (3x), Rainbow Bite FeatureSpins (75x) and Rainbow Epic Drop FeatureSpins (500x) |
The multiples show the point: a 500x option on a USD 1 base bet costs USD 500 in one click. Remember that Le Vampire's bet range starts at 0.05, so the same option on a minimum bet is far cheaper, but the price always scales with your stake.
What bonus buy changes
| Normal play | Bonus buy | |
|---|---|---|
| Reaching the bonus | Random, maybe hundreds of spins | Instant |
| Cost per bonus | Many small bets | One large price |
| Variance | Spread out | Concentrated: a single round decides |
| Speed of loss | Slower | Faster |
| House edge | Per game RTP | May differ; check the game info |
When to avoid it
- Small bankroll: a few buys can end the session. See bankroll rules.
- While chasing losses: the worst moment to buy.
- When wagering a bonus: confirm it is allowed first. Read how wagering works.
If you still want to try
Set a hard cap for buys in your session budget, for example 20% of it, and never raise it after a bad result. 18+. Open 1win; and read our limits guide first.
